Millennium Park

Millennium Park is no doubt one of the most beautiful places in Chicago but was it worth the millions of dollars spent on it? The simple answer is NO.  Tourism is not guaranteed thing. With hard times in the recession less people are taking vacations to other places. Sure people from other countries may take a vacation but let’s go see Millennium Park. Nope lets go see California or the Statue of Liberty in New York. Face it Chicago will probably never be on par with the states against the ocean when we are landlocked in the middle of the United States.

The cost of the park far outweighs the beauty that it leaves the residents with. They throw  concerts there and they have the ice rink there in the winter. But really let’s put ground cover over the parking garage and cover that with grass and sand to absorb the water and lets build a giant fish skeleton. This was a huge waste of money on their part. The money could have been spent on much better things like transportation. They want to raise out IPASS rates because they need more money. But all the money that went towards Millennium Park could have went towards our infrastructure.

If we were to fix our transportation and increase the flow of traffic in and out of the city. Possibly get the individual pod system working in a big city we could save the hassle of traffic jams and waiting for express trains and we can just go to where we need to go in minutes. Widening our highways we can push our supposed deadlock timeline back several years and make our city one of a kind. No traffic jams, we could become a punctual city putting us on the map in the world.
